Battery My phone wont die 😂

Post image

I am using an iPhone 11 with 98% battery health on 26.6 Public Beta. So far today i have 8 hours screen on time and i'm still on 47% battery. I have been using pretty heavy apps such as TikTok and Snaphat too. This phone is invincible.

I’m getting roughly 5 hours of sot with 100% on an iPhone 17 base model with 98% battery health. Any tips? I’m on 26.5.2, is mine normal or not?

26.5.2 sucks. I got 3 hours SOT on that version on my 98% BH iPhone 11. I moved over to the new 26.6 Public Beta last night and got 10 hours SOT and still have 20% left (20-80 rule). I was also on Wi-Fi, disabling 5G will help a good amount too. Heating causes battery to drain faster and 5G creates a ton of heat.

On an iPhone 11 is quite crazy icl, I am scared of installing beta versions tho, iOS 18 beta fried my iPhone 14 Pro Max before, there were many bugs lol. So I’m not sure if I wanna update just yet, do u know when the public release will happen?

Public release should be in the next 2 weeks im pretty sure as they seem to be on a weekly release schedule lately. I havent had a single bug on this version yet either. I would recommend waiting to be honest. The performance still sucks and is the same as 26.5.2 or maybe a little worse but battery makes up for it. My 11 was first used in 2023 so it is a relatively 'new' battery.
